::If I understand you correctly, the answer is: every wiki does it different but within the naming conventions. As to navigation, that is why internal linking is so important, that one entry logically leads you to the next then the next and so fourth.

I wonder if in the future this category could be broken down into like: Category:Essential reading for BoyLovers/basic - Category:Essential reading for BoyLovers/intermediate - Category:Essential reading for BoyLovers/advanced. Some things just seem more "Essential" then others. --Etenne 12:49, 22 March 2016 (UTC)
